Wisconsin isn't trying to run some kind of Thelma and Louise fantasy camp. So the women will be brought to justice:
Now it's the women, including the man's wife, who face punishment -- perhaps six years in prison -- and at least one said Monday the story has gotten twisted and she's embarrassed.
"I am disturbed. I am upset. I am having a hard time handling life; an emotional wreck," Wendy Sewell, 43, of Kaukauna, said Monday in a telephone interview from her home. "I am ashamed."
Sewell, Therese Ziemann, 48, of Menasha, Michelle Belliveau, 43, of Neenah, and the man's wife are charged with being party to false imprisonment, a felony. Ziemann also is charged with fourth-degree sexual assault.
What are the chances that the defense attorney for the women use the subtle "he was asking for it" defense against the sexual assault charges?
Oh, and eventually the man got free by doing exactly what you would do if your penis was in danger:
The man got free from the bed by chewing through one of his bindings, went outside and borrowed a telephone from the motel owner to call police.
